KalineCountry[/color]]Boesch was placed on the DL, as expected, opening another playoff roster wildcard.

Does this affect him being able to travel with the team and dress?

He was pretty adamant that he wanted to be a part of the postseason, even if just as a dugout cheerleader.

I am quite sure there was a sentence or two in one or two stories that Boesch will travel with the team for the rest of the season and as far as they go in the playoffs.

Tigers plan several memorials for Sept. 11.
On the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the Tigers will be honoring those who lost their lives and those who risked theirs on that day with several memorials.

Nearly 500 first responders, firefighters and police officers will be recognized for their service prior to the national anthem on Sunday. The Tigers have donated tickets for them to attend the series finale against the Twins.

Peaceful Authority, a quartet of police officers, will perform the national anthem and "God Bless America," and first responders will hold a large American flag in center field during the national anthem. Reginald Johnson of the Detroit Fire Department from Ladder 20 will deliver the game ball.

As part of Sunday kids day, the Tigers will select children of those who work in public service to take the field with the Tigers prior to the game.

Doug Ruthven who drove to New Jersey after the attacks, will deliver the lineup card.

These events are among several memorials planned for the National Day of Service and Remembrance.

Joel Zumaya gets good sign for next season.
DETROIT -- Tigers reliever Joel Zumaya is throwing again as he works his way back from the elbow problems that hampered him since Spring Training. It won't get him ready in time for this season, but it's a sign of hope that he might get his career restarted next season.
Zumaya is at the Tigers' facility in Lakeland, Fla., playing catch at about 90 feet, head athletic trainer Kevin Rand said earlier this week. He'll continue his throwing progression from there, though any chance of appearing in games this fall at any level would appear unclear. He's a free agent this offseason.
Zumaya's contract status made this a big year for the hard-throwing right-hander, who hasn't pitched a full season since his rookie campaign in 2006. After an offseason strengthening and rehab campaign brought him back at full strength for Spring Training, his elbow seemingly recovered from a fractured bone at the tip.
But discomfort after Zumaya's first Spring Training outing led to his throwing program being shut down. Tests in April showed more trouble in the elbow, forcing Zumaya to choose between season-ending surgery and rehab. Zumaya chose to avoid surgery for now.

Joel Zumaya has started throwing in Florida, the first time he's done that since Spring Training according to MLB.com's Chris Vannini and Jason Beck. Zumaya won't make it back in time to pitch for the Tigers this year, but it's a "sign of hope" that he'll be ready for the start of 2012. The hard-throwing righty is a free agent after the season.

Magglio Ordonez's time increases with Boesch out.
DETROIT -- With Brennan Boesch having undergone season-ending surgery, his outfield position will be filled by several players. One of those replacements is Magglio Ordonez, who had his playing time diminished when the Tigers traded for Delmon Young in August.

In nine games since the trade for Young, Ordonez is hitting .394 (13-for-33), and the veteran outfielder has a hit in each game.

Ordonez hadn't played since Sunday, but was in Friday's lineup, and manager Jim Leyland said the outfielder would play Sunday, as well. Ordonez is a career .324 hitter against the Twins, but was 4-for-16 against Minnesota starter Kevin Slowey heading into Friday's series opener.

"Magglio's always done well against the Twins," Leyland said. "He's going to play Sunday for sure. I didn't want to go too long without getting him [in]."
